Hello Classic Comic Community! Old guy, new member. A good friend has been trying to get me to join for too many years now. Can't wait to meet you all. Love talking classic comics (and Classics Illustrated too). About flippin' time, dude!
DrC is my friend of 40+ years Dino Pidone. He has, at various times, been my roommate, my caregiver, my student, and the closest thing I have to a little brother. He's also a phenomenal sculptor, as Rob Allen and a handful of other CCFers who've met him in person can attest.
I'm glad you're here, Dino. Just don't embarrass me in front of the cool kids. (I kid, I kid!)
Cei-U! I summon the long overdue homecoming!

The name is Nairb...or Brian, for those who don't speak 'Zatanna-Zatara-ese.'
I have been here before, off and on, with different names/devices...think my last one was 'Comics And Who', as in 'The Doctor'. So, I'll consider this a regeneration...and hopefully, nothing will happen to my phone!
My comics reading spanned 1978-1993, with a good amount of silver and bronze before that, and some visits to later stuff, as well.
Looking forward to digging into the 'reading discussion' and pop culture topics!

Thanks for having me, I am so glad to be here! I love Star Wars and Neil Gaiman's comics. Every day I hope for new Sandman content by Neil to be announced, but alas, waiting for Season 2 of The Sandman on Netflix will have to get me through each day for now, I suppose. In that vein, in the meantime, I feel Si Spurrier is knocking it out of the park with Hellblazer: Dead in America, it has that classic Vertigo feel from 30 years ago! Si's writing is dark, funny, and sad. In terms of comics news, I regularly read articles online at The Comics Journal, Bleeding Cool, and iCV2. I am particularly interested in the state of the Comics Industry, that's why I came here - the online comics press is severely lacking and I hope to find great insights into comics here from this community.

Just thought I'd say hello. I was a comics obsessive from about the age of 5 to 22 (so, er, 1979 to 1996? Yeah, that sounds about right), but then went off to university and couldn't really afford to buy new titles any more. Over the next decade I picked up the odd graphic novel if I saw one in a library or charity shop, but then in 2007 I broke my leg really badly and couldn't work for seven months, discovered comics could now been read digitally, and it saved my sanity! Fortunately I'm back on my feet again now (albeit with a replacement knee) and since the pandemic I've pretty much given up reading anything other than comics. Writing out a list of my favourite comics would take a ridiculously long time, but I've recently revisited and absolutely loved Judge Dredd Case Files 1 to 16, Nemesis The Warlock, The Tomb Of Dracula and Brian Bendis's Alias series, and I hope to find out lots more series that I've missed over the years thanks to this site.  |

Welcome to the community!
You'll find no shortage of Tomb of Dracula fans around here, that's for sure! I recently re-read the whole run (thankfully, in its gorgeous black and white version) and was as impressed by the plot and art as I had been way back in the '70s. Tomb of Dracula, Master of Kung Fu, Conan the barbarian... they might not have been purposefully created to revolutionize the world of comics, but they did a fairly good job of it.

Welcome to the community! You'll find no shortage of Tomb of Dracula fans around here, that's for sure! I recently re-read the whole run (thankfully, in its gorgeous black and white version) and was as impressed by the plot and art as I had been way back in the '70s. Tomb of Dracula, Master of Kung Fu, Conan the barbarian... they might not have been purposefully created to revolutionize the world of comics, but they did a fairly good job of it. Thank you! And I just finished reading the fifth (and final) volume of the complete collection and while the art is one aspect I love, I think my favourite thing about it is Marv Wolfman's script - it's often really melodramatic, and at the end of every issue is the promise that next month's title will be the most insane yet, but every so often there's a line or a speech which I thought was really quite poetic and affecting. More than any other work it made me feel at least some sympathy for Dracula, even despite his arrogance, and I really liked the supporting cast too. I did find it a bit odd that Blade essentially disappears towards the end, despite being mentioned in the opening blurb each issue, but I don't know if that's because he had his own spin-off title or Wolfman ran out of things to do with him. |

hello, im new to the forum and would like to sell my lifelong collection of comic books, Hello and welcome tommy, I'll refer you to the Rules of the Board : 9. Please no selling or buying of merchandise. Inevitably, a transaction goes badly, and that creates both tension in the community and legal problems for the website. It also invites people coming to the site strictly to hock their wares.
We just talk about comics, here; E-bay is a better place to buy and sell them. |

I've been reading comics for decades, so I guess that qualifies me as a Classic Comics fan. I've never been much for using online forums even though I browse them all the time. Sometimes talking out loud to myself while reading comics gets boring so I figured why not give this a shot.
